Apple is today rolling out an update to its iTunes App Store. The update will bring the individual apps to match the layout of iTunes 9, that was updated a few months ago. An individual page now shows only the two first lines of an app’s description, making it much more important for the developer to focus on these. The user is still able to hit a …More button to see the full description. Also the application icon is much bigger, multiple screen shots of the application will be shown and other applications by the same developer will be shown automatically.
And those of you who only need the U.S. maps of TomTom, head over to the app store before December 28th to get the application for $49.
